All in the Timing: Save Money by Buying when Demand Is Low

Sometimes saving money is all about the timing. I’m not talking about saving your eBay bids for the last second of the auction, though that strategy may be helpful in getting lower prices for the things you buy. I mean timing your purchases for when the demand for the things you buy – yours and others’ demand – is the lowest.

It sounds strange for me to say you can save money by buying when your own demand is the lowest, but what I mean by that is simply that you should stock up when things are on sale. Don’t buy things you’ll never use just because the price is right, but if you know you will buy something in the future and you see a great deal on it
